AdmiralToguroAni Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 After a lot of hard work, I have the model design for the Outlaw Star! Take a look: http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y266/ToguroAni/Shipcopy.bmp That was made in Gmax using a variety of smaller shapes. I exported it as a .Md3 file and ignored the dialogue that followed as I didnt know what it was talking about. Then, I used Deep Explorer to open it up and produce the bitmap that you see above. I also saved it as a .X file using Deep Explorer, but not before I right clicked each section and set the color to what I want it to be (the ship is smooth enough that I can get by without texturing for this basic level ship. Besides, Im no artist!). So here I am with a single .x file. My questions are these: looking at it in lithunwrap, it looks like a garbled bunch of nothing. Yet the bitmap above clearly shows a completed pic. What went wrong? Next, I used the default grid size when making this in Gmax, and made the entire ship without zooming in or out. How big will it be in-game? Finally, could someone explain what to do about the close/medium/far things? Thanks! --Admiral Toguro Count Dooku is the strongest Star Wars character as depicted in the movies. All hail Christopher Lee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad78 Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 Well you will have to import a model from Reb (say the star destroyer) into your gmax scene and adapt the size of your model with the proportions. http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Palpycard.gifhttp://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Spamkinguserbarcopy.jpgCLICK HERE IT IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!Click here is you like Trance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdmiralToguroAni Posted June 18, 2005 Author Share Posted June 18, 2005 how would I go about doing that? The models are all inside the DLL files, and I dont know where they are in the DLL files, much less how to get them out Count Dooku is the strongest Star Wars character as depicted in the movies.

AdmiralToguroAni Posted June 26, 2005 Author Share Posted June 26, 2005 I tried to find the original modelling tutorial, but I always get a "file not found" message when I try to download it from the site. Any ideas? Also, could someone please tell me why my ship looks so bad in lithunwrap, yet looks complete in deep explorer and gmax?
